Owner's comments
Wahoo has served us well for coastal cruising and day sails round the bay. She's rigged for short-handed sailing, with all lines led to the cockpit, an autopilot to handle the helm during tacks and jibes, and jacklines running the length of the vessel. I've single-handed her up the ICW to Sabine Lake and offshore to Freeport. We've done weekend cruises around Galveston Bay, over to Double Bayou and up Cedar Bayou, and to Texas City Dike and Offat's Bayou. The previous owner, who purchased her new, has taken her as far as New Orleans on a long cruise with his family.
She has a full set of sail controls: for the headsail, roller reefing (not just furling), genoa car position, and of course halyard and sheet tension; for the main, halyard and sheet tension, outhaul, Cunningham, jiffy reefing, traveller and backstay tension, providing everything necessary for trimming sails and balancing the sail plan under a gamut of wind conditions. With her wing keel and spade rudder she responds well to the helm under sail or power. The big genoa, spinnaker pole and cruising spinnaker come in handy in the light summer winds of S.E. Texas.
Her shoal draft is a definite advantage in Clear Lake, Galveston Bay and while avoiding tows on the ICW. It's helped keep us out of trouble especially in the skinny waters in Trinity and East Bays. We keep her at the Wharf marina on Clear Lake and get in and out on days when everyone else is sitting in the mud.
Disclaimer
The usual. This good-faith description is to the best of my knowledge accurate, but I'm not a marine surveyor, so I can't guarantee anything about the configuration or condition of the vessel. You'll have to verify that for yourself.
Hello David,
She's 95% gone but the buyer seems to be in finance company purgatory for
the moment so I didn't want to jinx things by prematurely withdrawing the
ad. But go ahead and take mark her sold, I profess not to be superstitious.
Thanks, and cheers,
Des
